I think they are made of redwood.

Wow. I have not seen a wooden gutter since childhood, and I'm 65!
Redwood is virtually indestructable. Wonderful building material! The only maintenance I would think is necessary is to keep the gutters free of debris. I'd get up on the roof each spring with a garden hose and clean them really good. They may last 50 years!

Wooden gutters? They exist?
I dunno about this redwood business. In my experience, wood and water do not mix well.
I would perform the following maintenance:
1: Remove wooden gutters.
2: Install aluminum gutters.
3: Scrape gunk out of gutters every year.
4: paint as desired.

Is this a trick question? Untill something causes it to break! They should last forever. Keep clean like normal

they should last a long time when they are dry and clean inside and out you can seal the inside and paint the out side
